Just when I say "ok I should stop buying soaps" you do this. Love it!!
Loving this announcement, as this base is my favorite! (Especially when it has added hemp oil)
The stuff I just made doesn't have Hemp oil in it because I wanted to confirm the mods I made helped to firm it up. I didn't want to include Hemp oil until I had a good baseline. I will eventually run out of the Wagyu tallow I have on hand and will have to switch to a new tallow. I am working on a local small farm sourced tallow, I can get the raw fat/tallow but I don't want to have to render it myself (my wife strongly objects to the smell)
...and a year from now @CBLindsay has a small herd of beef cattle for the sole purpose of having a reliable source of tallow. 
It's all good. I like them both. Just a small difference in post shave feel with the hemp.
Lindsay tallow > Wagyu tallow
When I first started making CBL Premium Tallow I would render the tallow myself...my wife QUICKLY squashed that idea. Fortunately I do have access to a local rancher but I don't want to have to render anything inhouse if I can avoid it. Then again, if I DO end up rendering myself I would be able to sell to local soap/candle makers....and a year from now @CBLindsay has a small herd of beef cattle for the sole purpose of having a reliable source of tallow.
Given a choice, I would just take the Ribeye and leave the herd.

Removing bits from a body but keeping it alive. Pretty sure I've seen that in a horror movie or two.

I thought the first rule of soap club was we dont talk about soap clubnah, just a liposuction clinic.
I DEFINITELY saw that movie!nah, just a liposuction clinic.
@CBLindsay any idea when these will be available on the site?
Stop trying to cut in line man!!
A few updates for those who are following along at home...
I have 2 bars of Orange Dirt bar soap left and maybe 6-8 bars of the Original Vetiver. Since these are in rather short supply I am inviting those interested to post or PM their interest so I can make sure you get what you want. I know @Spider wanted the OG Vetiver so he will have first option, speak up if you want in line behind him.
I made more of my original premium tallow made with wagyu tallow and hemp oil. I have a few scents prepared and will be making one or 2 more (and/or making some special orders for some). In addition to the Orange Dirt and Russian tea I have already announced and made available on my website I have the following: (I will add to my website soon)
Vintage- A woody, warm spicy scent. Pepper, Yuzu and Coriander or the top notes. Incense, Cinnamon, Rose, Virginia Cedar and sandalwood make up the middle and base of this complex, cologne-like scent. 24 tubs @$18.50 and i will have tonic and oil available. (no hemp oil in this one)
Tootsie- tart cherry, decadent chocolate, almond, metallic ink and cotton all rolled into one. The first impression might remind you of a cherry tootsie pop but the scent evolves and the dry down (post rinse) becomes more inky. Made with original premium tallow NO hemp oil. only 20 tubs @$18.50 (I can make tonic and post shave oil in this scent too)
BEE- a clone of Zoologist's "Bee" cologne. A very unique and complex scent that opens with obvious honey/beeswax notes then becomes much, much more. On the whole, this scent takes on a somewhat "metaphysical-shop" like feel. The combined notes form an incense like/inspired feel. The base notes (benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean, Labdanum, sandalwood and musk) provide a creamy, spiced-amber like background. Made with hemp oil 21 tubs @$18.50 and I have enough oil on hand to make tonic and post shave oil. *i think this will be popular so I may make more soap in the future.
Renaissance (working name, may change)- A blend of Sandalwood, Cedar, Patchouli and sage (essential oils & fragrance oils). The primary note is a creamy/slightly spicy Sandalwood, a blend of cedar oils add some depth to the Sandalwood while the Patchouli brings a fresh liveliness. The sage is barely noticed but rounds out the vibe. Nothing in this scent is overpowering, the individual notes blend nicely to impart a Ren fair like feel that can VERY easily be enjoyed through the day. 21 tubs @$18.50, tonic and oil available (made with hemp oil)
Oud Mineral- Yep...I made more. This scent is most easily described as Ocean minerals (salt spray, Ocean water), and Rich Agarwood/oud. The ocean mineral notes come from sea salt, seaweed, Ambergris and maybe a little pepperwood. This was very popular when I made it the first time, now I have 22 full sized tubs available @$18.50 and will have tonic and oil available too. made with hemp oil base.
I am considering making a small batch of Black Rose Oud, one of my original scents that was quite popular. This is an amazing darker rose scent. I am also thinking about releasing my newest revision of Sir Irisch Moos in this base (my plan is to make the SIM revision in tonsorial pucks).
My son asked me if I could make a shaving soap powder...so I am exploring THAT concept as well.
